Question

Casey buys a bracket for. She pays for the bracelet and pays $0.72 in sales tax. The sales tax is 6%. What is the Original price for the bracelet, before tax

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

amount of tax = $0.72

percent of tax= 6%

Let the original cost be x

so that

6% of x= 0.72

solve for x

6/100*x= 0.72

0.06x= 0.72

divide both sides by 0.06

x= 0.72/0.06

x=$12

Hence the cost is $12
